This book is available to preorder and will be despatched from 14th July 2015. This delicious little treat of a book offers over 40 mouth-watering delights to create, including cakes, tarts, tea time treats and biscuits, drinks and sauces. It contains over 40 fully-illustrated recipes, which range from a magnificent Belgian Chocolate Cake, through classic chocolate tart, pastries and biscuits, delicate Madelines and cigarillos, boozy hot chocolate and an unforgettable Chocolate Mocktail. Stirred into the mix is a fascinating history of royal chocolate, written by HRP curator Polly Putnam. Polly traces the journey of the cocoa bean from its ancient origins as Central American currency to its introduction to the English royal court, where the Stuarts and then Georgian royals and their couriers enjoyed this luxurious treat. Polly was one of the curators who researched the history of the Chocolate Kitchen at Hampton Court Palace, which were re-opened to our visitors in 2014.
